It's time to take responsibility for what we did in Afghanistan

[DrLove]

This was on Full Frontal with Samantha Bee last night and I think she pretty much nailed it.
Yes, she's more of a comedienne (a Daily Show original) but this is pretty spot-on.
The gist? Yea, Biden bears some of the blame but so do a whole lotta others.
Kind if a history lesson with a little satire thrown in if you will.

Don't forget Adam - it all started with him. The original sinner.

Does that include "taking responsibility" for what Biden did too? I'm seeing a distinct lack of that side of things from many folk on here.

Wonder why.

Had you spent 8 minutes watching the video, then your question wouldn't have been necessary.
She distinctly said that Uncle Joe fucked up the withdrawal.

The attempts to counterspin Biden's success are going to continue tediously for another few days at least.
It's not helpful that the staff has moved the topic of the war out of the 'politics' section. But it 'is' an indication of declining interest.
The Biden haters and whiners had better move on to something better than the evacuation effort which can stand as the greatest military effort to get troops and allies out in history.

If the losses at Dunkirk was considered a success, what if this one!
And not forgetting that Trump can claim credit for making the deal with the enemy! (if he dares?)

Biden is a complete idiot-----the withdrawal was a MAJOR fk up ---you hitlerjugend love your Fuhrer

Nonsense - we stayed at least 18 years too long desperately attempting to transform a super-weird country in our own image. We've failed at nation building and have for at least the past 50 years. Trillions down the drain.

Response to 911 was appropriate. We liquidated the AQ training camps and chased out the Taliban who enabled Uncle Bin and his terrorists. THAT is when we should have blown out other than ten years later when Obama successfully killed UBL.

Biden is a complete idiot-----

Yes, he certainly is! His media appearances should be an embarrassment to all Americans.

the withdrawal was a MAJOR fk up ---

It was arguably the greatest successful evacuation of troops and allied personnell in history. It could be called a 'fluke' success by Biden or more realistically credited to wiser minds.

you hitlerjugend love your Fuhrer

You're acting childish in your fit of rage.

You're not appreciating the strategic loss to America and the real reason it was worth 20 years. It had nothing to do with nation building or humanitarian effort.
That's just the standard line America tries to spin after any of it's other losses. It won't sell for this one any better than it didn't sell for Vietnam.
